If the thrush is in an adult woman, then to alleviate the condition it is recommended to take warm baths (in the pelvis) with the same solution for 15-20 minutes several times a day.
Thrush: what to treat after visiting a doctor
After contacting a specialist, each patient receives the following (general) recommendations for eliminating this disease:
- minimize the factors that caused the appearance of candidiasis;
- take antimycotic drugs (for example, Fluconazole, Terzhinan, Orungal, Pimafukort, etc.);
- restore the normal microflora of the mucous membranes;
- strengthen immunity;
- take local treatment (for example, ointments "Oxyconazole", "Clotrimazole", "Econazole", "Bifonazole", etc.);
- follow a diet and personal hygiene.
Of course, the first thing a doctor prescribes after a diagnosis is antimycotic drugs, which are aimed at the complete destruction of the fungus. The following are considered the most effective and popular drugs: Fluconazole, Itriconazole, Ketoconazole. These funds are prescribed only for severe illness. In this case, many patients are interested in the question of how many days to treat thrush. It is worth noting that the duration of the course with these drugs is calculated personally by the doctor, based on the severity of the disease, the age of the patient and his condition in general.
If the oral cavity of a child under 3 years old is affected, then they are prescribed Natamycin drops, which should be used to lubricate the mucosa of 0.5-1 ml for 10 days. For the same disease, children over 3 years of age, as well as adults, are prescribed the drug “Clotrimazole”.
